This is my months entery, 26 Housrs. The concept behind this is one from a long, long time ago. There was this house party see, loads of people and loads of drugs. I refused any, and was mocked (only slightly). So I developed a game, to drink for as long as the party continued. To cut a long story short, I didn't quite make it, but I was one of the last to leave. 26 hours of steady drinking and you know what, it felt easy for 19 hours and then all hell turned on me when I went outside. I lost my balance and just lost all senses. Tequila, Vodka and Beers where my drinks and I will always remember feeling good about myself one second, then wham, on my back not knowing which way is up.

I was only a young adult and when I got home, me ma accused me of being on Drugs!!! Go Figure, Ha!
